About Our Program
- The Prospect Opportunity Program (POP) is a for profit company that accepts those that have left prison and puts them to work FOR the community in order to prevent them from going back to a life of crime.
- POP offers a chance at becoming a contributor of the community. Every participant must start in the work program which includes a variety of job possibilities: car repair, car paint, car wash or the recycle center.
- Every participant must also enroll in classes for life skills, career education, and therapy.
- A GED program is also available should the participant be interested in that.
- Every participant is given a social worker to support them in their transition toward making better choices.
